How do I get it to appear in game settings on CachyOs?

I’ve only had this PC for two or three months (AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU and 9070 XT GPU), and Windows has been a real headache. Between AI features, AMD drivers, and Windows updates, it just keeps getting worse. I’ve heard that the new Windows update fixes the issue with AMD cards, but if it doesn’t work, I’ll most likely switch to Linux. And here’s my question.

I’m completely clueless when it comes to using Linux I’ve never used it beyond the times I’ve put my Steam Deck into desktop mode. I mainly use my PC for gaming, and I rely heavily on mods for the games I play, with MO2 being the mod manager I use the most, as well as various Bethesda games like Fallout. I know there are ways to make it compatible with Wine. Is it difficult? Can you really use almost all mods to play your games?

(First post ever on reddit, ahoy)

Hello, I joined the Bazzite rush today and it is really exciting! SO I of course jumped right into it.

I am using LACT to cap power usage of my 3080 to 250w. I ran Helldivers 2 with default graphics settings.

Without jumping into a planet, 2 minutes later roughly, these were the thermals that I got.

This can't be normal, can it?

So I know, as an game dev or graphics programmer, I can just use Vulkan and call it a day, making sure the “magic” of the Linux kernel will get my command buffers to the GPU. However, recently I have read some articles and become a bit more curious what are the mechanisms that interface between a Vulkan application and the hardware itself. I’ve heard about this “big thing” called Mesa that I still don’t know what it does (there’s a lot of mention of it in Alyssa Rosenzweig’s blogs about implementing Vulkan on the M1/M2 chips, sad she didn’t stay around for M3+), and, reading this article, there’s RADV which is the UMD, amdgpu which is the KMD, and some other things mentioned.

So, my question is, how all of it works? Starting from Vulkan, what “gets” the payload and pass to the lower layers, who communicates with the hardware etc, and how that changes in the Nvidia side (I know there’s their proprietary blob, and Nouveau), and maybe on the Intel ARC side? It’s really interesting that there’s a whole layer cake of software below Vulkan (that is supposed to be a thin-driver library), and I want to understand what are their roles and motivation about it. Thank you already!

It only happens on a few select games, but when I play a game through steam the game's window will have a black bar at the top. Here is an example from launcher of the game "Genshin Impact", which I run through steam (I have downloaded the installer from their official website, then ran it through steam with proton, then in steam set the correct path to the launcher).
Note that this also happen with games from steam, not only games not from steam but launched with steam.

The black bar at the top also affects the cursor clicks. If the black bar is 30px high, then when I click, it will click 30px below my cursor position.

I have tried to find information on this online, but i only find tangentially related stuff, not my specific problem, except for one forum post which did not have a solution.

In the case of the launcher, it's not much of an issue since the black bar doesn't happen once i am in the game. But it's also happening on a few other games now, on which it is a problem so I would like to fix it.

Any idea how to fix this?

(Note: this is on arch linux, hyprland).

New Linux user here. I installed Fedora a few days ago and have been trying to get myself situated, although so far I’ve spent most of my time watching videos attempting to learn the basic fundamentals of Linux rather than actually using my pc and testing things.

Anyways my primary use case is gaming, and while the few unmodded games I tested seem to work fine with proton, some games I spend most of my time in are highly modular (such as Fallout, Skyrim, Stalker, souls games, etc). I have become pretty fluent setting up mod lists on windows, but I also understand most mods were made to work specifically on windows.

Is there a general consensus on how well modded games function on Linux? How about mod managers such as MO2? Can just about any game with mods placed within the game files still work if the game is running through proton? Again I’m completely new so if what I just said makes absolutely no sense please correct me.

I have a brother in law with the Switch version of Minecraft who wants to play LAN multiplayer with me.

Last I was aware Minecraft multiplayer only worked between the same editions (bedrock to bedrock) and the official Linux Minecraft launcher did not have support for the bedrock edition.

Im looking for suggestions or workarounds. I’m on Linux Mint if that makes a difference which it may since it blocks Snaps out of the box.

Is it safe to install Linux and Windows on my main SSD Linux would then be on the second partition. Or will there be any conflicts?

I've installed Vortex normally on my Linux desktop, and I'm currently opening it via Steam, using Proton-CachyOS. I am currently downloading and installing mods by dragging to the app, but I want to be able to download collections from Nexus (like Gate to Sovngarde lol), but I can't find a way to do it.

Any tip will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance and here's to a great 2026 for all of us.

Every time I open the game it gets frozen (after a few minutes the main menu shows and plays the music but is all I can do). Until the game eventually crashes.

I've tried switching several Proton versions (Hotfix, experimental, 10.0-3, 9.0-4) and all of them have the same behavior.

"Hi r/linux_gaming!

I've just started development on Austraoxe, a first-person puzzle game heavily inspired by the mechanics and atmosphere of Portal 2.

I know it's just a single screenshot right now (very early WIP), but I wanted to share it here first because I plan to ensure this runs perfectly on Linux. I'm building this using Unreal, so a native build is the goal.

Let me know if you have any specific requests for the Linux build (settings, window management, etc.)!"

Hello everyone!

I just made a few modifications to my Logitech G920 after a long time of not using it, changed the springs in the pedals and now it feels so smooth! It was incredibly satisfying after getting the result I expected!

After so much time invested, I tried to run some games in my Nobara system, but unfortunately steam doesn't detect the controller (even though some steam games detect it, such as Forza Horizon 2, Dirt Rally and Asetto Corsa)...

The G920 itself is also detected by mapping/config apps (such as AntiMicroX and Oversteer), so, what could be missing to make it visible to steam?

Please, let me know...

Thanks!
